Top ten
1. Carver, Raymond. Where I’m calling from new and selected stories. New York: Vintage Books, 1989.
• This is one of Ray Carvers many stories and this one I liked. He used real issues that either he actually went threw or knew a lot about. He made this story seem the most realistic in all of the semester. It tell of an alcoholic and his struggles.
2. William, Shakespeare. Macbeth. New York: Dover Publications, 1993.
• Macbeth tells a great story of a man who is very liked, but lets his greed take over when he wants to take over and be the king. The novel itself was hard to understand but by watching the movie and the play I understood the book and the characters.
3. Macbeth. The movie, Director Geoffrey Wright. Actor Sam Worthington. 21 Sep. 2006
• This movie came out in Austrailia and while Macbeth was in the olden days, Director Geoffrey Wright puts a spin on the classic story and puts the concepts into modern days. Power, money, durgs, sex, and action in the new Macbeth.
4. Silko, Leslie M. Ceremony. New York: The Viking Press, 1977.\
• My novel of choice because it dealt with alcoholism and a military man. Good novel felt sorry for all these Army men that served our country and couldn’t deal with life out of the military. They let everything else take over.
5. Berger, John. Ways of Seeing. London: Penguin Books, 1972.
• This book was really different then you would see in a typical college class. Many pictures, and I really didn’t understand why we read it. Good connections with the pictures to the others.
6. “Macbeth”. By William Shakespeare. Kingsmen Park, Thousand Oaks CLU. 26 June 2009.
• Probably the first play I went to on my own, and I really liked it. It help me understand Shakespeare and the characters a little more. Good fight scene in the beginning and overall good acting. The director that came into class really got me into going and seeing it.
7. Shepard, Sam. True West. Samuel French, Inc. New York, 1981
• At first seemed like a boring novel by the name but the character really came out and showed a different side of eachother. Was different how characters switched roles. Didn’t like how the novel ended in with no understanding to how it all ended, but good novel.
8. Carver, Raymond. Where I’m Calling From. “Neighbors”. Atlantic Press, 1988.
• This I thought was a strange story, but then again I can see this happening to a couple. Carver uses good words in this story to get the point across, and now I would want someone watching over my house.
9. 3. Carver, Raymond. Where I’m Calling From. “Fat”. Atlantic Monthly Press, 1988
• This is a weird story also, but I can see Carver writing a story like this. It’s a reason to not make fun of anyone and keep you ideas to yourself, I didn’t like as much, but it was fun to read.
10. Prolux,Annie. Brokeback Mountain: Story to screenplay. New York. Scribner, 2005
• This has to be my number one all time not favorites. I really wasn’t interested in reading the novel. Really point less to me, but good story to read for some people.
